Deaf Gain - A Documentary Film

It was such a huge honor being a contributor to this beyond wonderful film! Thank you, Ashley Larson :)

been learning a few words here and there for years, but this film is just so inspiring, thank you!

It’s true!! The only way to change people mind us through education. I have hope for the next generation of people learning ASL & Deaf culture.. thank you!!

Im glad this documentary was actually useful, despite the bad first impression. I've been watching some short films on YouTube about being deaf and they were all about pity and hearing people's perspective

Hi, i am a Nursing student. I started learning AMS , and i learnt the alphabet. It’s so interesting, and i want to communicate with Deaf people.

Brilliant documentary. Congratulations Ashley.

great doco, nice to 'see' what the culture of the language means, I have Autism, and can hear, but many of my "ASD community" can't speak, or have any Language to communicate what their brains think ( our brains are like basic computers, we can only 'do' so much at once,sometimes certain brain areas are under developed,or not there at all), so I understand how important this is to people, as it is a voice, not just for deaf, but any person who can't for whatever reason communicate, ASD, Stroke, mutism, or many others we are all NOT disabled in a negative way, we are 'Neuro-diverse', we think, and act diferently.

this was a great video. Ty, everyone was great. i become officially hard of hearing in 2017, and learning asl, but also learning deaf culture and seeing things from deaf eyes. now signs I am informed I need to learn are Midwest USA dialect. tho I recognized a lot of signs today. I've been told two ways. watch signing and try to pick out signs, then put together, and don't look at captions. others told me its ok look captions to confirm that's signs I seen.

The international sign for person we use it in Uruguay too!

I was born deaf/hard hearing but few month back im lost rest hearing due to covid but thankful im know ASL and accepted by the deaf community

I am interested in Deaf Gain.— Thumbs-Up!!😊🥰👍👍

This is really cool! Great job with the film!

A very beautiful short, thanks for sharing.

Very good video actually

Beautiful Deaf l love

Really liked this. Especially the fade-in/fade-out sound at the beginning and end. It was awesome to watch the sign as I’m learning ASL and every little bit of practice helps.

i been learning asl for a while now. i wish ik more than i do but i will and i do not see ppl being deaf as a disability because they can do anything but hear

I love this

From Germany I think that ASL gain more important for hearing people while deaf gain right for deaf people.

Excelente! Me encantó :) Soy de Honduras y aquí usamos el LESHO
